58-17-57. Abuse of health insurance as misdemeanor. A person who provides health care commits abuse of health insurance, if, as a regular business practice, he knowingly accepts from any third-party payor, as payment in full for services rendered, the amount the third-party payor covers, or submits a fee to a third-party payor which is higher than the fee he has agreed to accept from the insured with the understanding of waiving the required deductible or co-payment, if the effect of either business practice is to eliminate the need for payment by the insured of any required deductible or co-payment applicable in the insured's health benefit plan. Abuse of health insurance is a Class 1 misdemeanor.
